Hello,
I have been charged with setting up a new mail server for our small
college, and I really want to use qmail+vpopmail, because of the admin
features of qmailadmin. (and ezmlm, .qmail files, etc)
The catch: My user database is in Active Directory, and I can't talk
management out of letting it go yet.
I have been reading about the possibility of changing the AD schema to
work with vpopmail's ldap module, and I have gotten the go-ahead to do
that if I can make it work on my test domain, but if anyone has any
better ideas on how to do this, if it will work at all, I would greatly
appreciate them.
Possibilities I have thought about:
1. Modify AD schema.
This seems to be messy, and I'm not sure it would work at all. Can
I use the OpenLDAP schema file included with vpopmail to use as a
template for AD?
2. Run separate OpenLDAP database on the mail server, and sync passwords.
However, I don't know if this one is feasible or even possible?
If anyone has tackled something similar and knows the most efficient way
to handle it, I would really appreciate the advice (This includes if you
have talked your superiors into letting go of AD)!
If I'm barking up a dead tree, I would love to know that, too.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
